WATSONVILLE, CA – Applied Motion Products introduces the STR, a new drive engineered to deliver the features expected by today’s machine builders, at a price they need. The STR step motor drives, ...

Increasingly elaborate Rube Goldberg schemes for controlling step-motors have developed over the years that try to pace stepping to avoid missteps. This direction of development is fundamentally ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH has launched the TB67S579FTG, a next-generation stepper motor driver IC featuring Advanced Microstep Technology. This two-phase, bipolar stepper motor driver utilises a ...

Stepper motor systems are highly efficient when producing torque, but lack operational efficiency when not producing torque. Applied Motion Products offers insights on how to make a greener and more ...

In 1960, the large-angle type PM step motor was the most used step motor. This two-phase, bifilar wound PM step motor (top) advanced 45° mechanical with each pulse from the drive, while by 1962 PM ...

The STM is a drive+motor+control unit, fusing step motor, drive, and controller technologies into a single device, offering savings on space, wiring and cost over conventional motor and drive ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Microstepping a two-phase stepper motor requires the winding currents to be 90° out-of- phase so that the stepper ...
